it's so big you can see it from spras. the world economic forum keeps the list of infrastructure quality in the world, our ranking has fallen to 23. 23rd in the world in terms of quality of our infrastructure. usa. 23rd? seriously? but if you listen the way this gets talked about in washington, you might think there's hope for us to get back in the game here. president obama talked about how he not only wants to invest in infrastructure, but he thinks he might be able to bring republicans around to that idea as well. >> at a time when interest rates are very low, contract workers are looking for work, and the need is there, that is something that could make a huge positive intact on the economy overall, and it's an example of making an investment now that ends up having huge payoffs down the road we haven't got the kind of cooperation on those types of ideas and initiatives, but i'm going to keep on trying, and eventually the speaker will see the light. >> by speaker he means john boehner. congressman john micah in florida

there is no time to get something this big done before the august 2 deadline. it literally cannot be passed through the senate in time even if everybody likes it. the other rainbow/sunshine problem here is the president and the senate agreeing on this or anything doesn't get you further towards raising the debt ceiling, it's not just the president and the senate, it's crazy town down the hallway too, it's john boehner's republican house, that likes the idea of the nation defaulting, that thinks the explosion of the economy might be pretty or at least warm for a second. they are not looking for a good deal or achieve particular policy objectives, regardless of what they get, they are not going to vote to raise the debt ceiling. the republicans who are running for president from the house of representatives, for example, are not saying don't raise the debt ceiling unless, don't raise the debt ceiling until, they are saying don't raise the debt ceiling at all. let's see what happens. this is how republican congresswoman michele bachmann's first presidential campai
